2019 Purdue Field Day

June 15, 2019 will see a swarm of activity at this event.  It is a great follow up to the fantastic Indiana Bee School XVII.  Once again, we'll be in the hives with no guest speaker. 

Remember to bring your protective gear as a hat/veil are required to be in the apiary.  We will have a few extra on site if you do not have any.

Didn't get The Beekeepers of Indiana attire, don't worry, we'll have some at the Bee Lab.

We allow walk-in registration on Saturday, June 15.
